Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like dystopian teenagers forced to murder one another. If you have a recently-released Samsung phone or tablet, you can load up a copy of The Hunger Games or its sequel Catching Fire for that long journey home. Just install this app from Lionsgate (only compatible with some devices) and follow the instructions below to get a couple of free movies.

According to SlickDeals, the free redemption codes are available to owners of the Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note Pro, Galaxy Tab Pro, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5, and Galaxy S4. One Android Police writer managed to redeem both movies on a Galaxy Note 4, so it might be worth a try on other Samsung phones too.

Once you've installed the app, tap the "2" to advance to the second menu item. Tap the ">" button above "watch movies." Then tap on either movie and a promotional message will pop up with a Google Play Store redemption code. Tap the code and you'll see an IAP-style window with the free movie available in HD. Redeem it in this screen and the movie is tied to your Google Play account, and then you can watch it on your current device, your Chromecast, on the web, or on any other device where Google Play Movies is accessible.

The rest of the app is pretty cool for fans of the Hunger Games series. In addition to the usual trailers for past and upcoming movies, it has custom icons, links for the Suzanne Collins novels, and even copies of the screenplays that you can read through. Some non-Samsung devices are supported, like the Nexus 6, but they're few and far between. Looking for more free movies from Google Play? Depending on what hardware you have, you might still be able to grab a free copy of Lord of the Rings (or other movies in other countries), Gravity, or the original X-Men.

Seriously. AP has shown themselves to be the only Android news blog that takes itself seriously. They consistently produce new, useful, substantiated content. I don't see many other android journalists (or even other journalists in other fields) do as fantastic of a job as you guys do.

The APK teardowns, fantastic sources of information. Don't see others doing this. You don't just post "Oh boy i think this is happening rumor rumor rumor." You go through the code line by line to see what it could mean. That's dedication.

Every week, the "x apps of the week." Awesome! What a great way to find apps. Original reviews, insightful and honest opinions, I love it!

All other general news. Always original content. Rarely do I see recycled "this rumor happened" and "this is coming out" like I do from literally every other blog.

Basically, what I'm trying to say, is thank you so much for putting out actual content. Thank you for not trying to get pageviews from "hot" titles and "latest rumors!" Thank you for trying to get pageviews from writing solid articles and putting thought into almost every post.

Seriously, I love you guys. I hope you can tell from all the upvotes and how many of your stories hit the front page! But even still, I wanted to let you know how absolutely grateful I am (and we all are)! Stick around, and keep up the fantastic work! We don't take it for granted, even if it might seem like it sometimes!

Worked on AT&T GS4 with Tmo SIM card using Int'l firmware Touchwiz ROM..

I live in Canada and have got this promo. Second comment will explain how.

Whether you need to follow every step I did is uncertain, but here's what I did.
1: I changed my address in Google wallet to an American address. (Beverly hills California, 90210)
2: changed default shipping address to the same.
3: downloaded zenmate vpn to spoof my location.
4: On my s5, i used Samsung Internet browser which allowed me to fake address on play store and I browser loaded the app onto my Tab S.
5: just opening the app on Tab S without vpn and proxy gave me a redeem code.
6: Back on S5, I used dolphin Browser to redeem the code (For some reason stock browser would tell me wrong country)

Thats a lot of steps, Try if you want. When I downloaded the App on my S5 and tried to install from the app it would say wrong country. I had to involve my tabs s to get the code. I do not know why.
Good luck.

Well, why not simply torrent it. It's about as legal as your procedure. Damned content mafia HAS to go *grrrr*

bcsc

Just cause, man. I'm not even ever gonna watch the movies. Not my style. It was about the thrill of the hunt and gaming the system. Now, technically and legally I own them. As far as Google is concerned anyway.

And here are the files in my Play Movies app. Notice the other was the Canada free National Lampoon from last week.
